Come September 1, Texans will be able to carry swords and other long knives in public.
Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law House Bill 1935, which allows any weapon with a blade longer than 5.5 inches to be carried in public. That would allow swords, daggers, machetes, stilettos, long knives – including the Bowie knife and spears to be carried in public.
However, the blades won't be allowed in schools, churches, hospitals and establishments that rake in over 51% of their revenue through the sale of alcoholic beverages. Private businesses also have the freedom to prohibit such blades from their premises.
Those under the age of 18 will also be prohibited from carrying blades longer than 5.5 inches if they're not under parental supervision. - Texas Will Soon Allow People To Carry Swords In Public | Daily Wire
I wonder if people are thinking there will be sieges and sword duels in the streets, lol!
